1st ever bass on a "chatter" bait

[Deb]

We went out early yesterday before most of the "squirrels" hit the lake. The bass bite was slow so I decided to try something different...On my second cast, I caught this, not big but a fish none the less.

Ok, so it isn't exactly a "chatter" bait. I was afraid to use the "S" word (afraid I'd get rotten tomatoes thrown at me) but I can guarantee I was chattering the whole time I was fishing Actually to show how stupid I am, I didn't even know what a "S" bait was...Went looking for some...then realized I had some in the boat that an exboyfiend had given me 4 yrs ago. DUH! I was doubtful that I could cast it without any weight but the RevoS came in like a champ! Anyway, went on to catch 4 more, none big but they were fun.

Joe caught a nice "rock" bass on a c-rig lizard. Not his biggest but nice anyway...

The "squirrels" began to take over the lake but I'll post later on that. We ended the morning with me catching 10, Joe 4. We've got to find bigger fish....Maybe next time!!!

Good Job!

I have thrown one of those chatterbaits and couldn't even catch a gar.

Nice Bass. Sure looks pretty up that way. I need a vacation! 8-)

You funny lady.

Yakking away while fishing a senko makes it a "Chatter bait"  

You may qualify for "mook" status.

I had good luck with chatterbaits when they first came out, but not so lately.

Strange.  It's not that alot of people around here are throwing them.  It could be the low water, or maybe they are more seasonal.

I don't know, I only know that I don't tie em on as often as I used to.

Funny Deb! ;D

Nice fish.....now get out of the shallows and get with the bigguns'! :

[Deb]

CJ, I'm waiting on you!  I'm ready when you are!

Great photos. Looks like a beautiful lake.

Nice work young Lady!!!!

Funny how there's no mention of me saying, "Mom, we killed them the other day using a senko. Maybe you should try wacky rigging it." Strange.

That's because "Mother knows best"

Avid, you are a very wise man! Maybe it's my very advanced age...You know -hearing goes, can't remember much....Ahhhhh, maybe I do remember something J said, "Mom, plastics suck" "I can't catch a thing on them" "They're for sissy's"! I sure DON'T remember a thing being said about wacky rigging a senko!!!

Allow me to refresh your memory. I was telling you about how me and my buddy Ian were fishing and he was busy losing my lures. I was using a chatterbait and hooked into a ten+ pound fish which I promptly lost.

While Ian was losing my $6 rattletraps, I remembered the senkos that Alex (New 2 Bass) gave to me a while back and suggested he use those. Remember how I then told you that he caught 2 bass on his first three casts? And how he caught about 10 of them in 20 minutes?

Then I told you about wacky rigging and how you were supposed to fish it weightless. Still can't remember?

Just admit it- I TAUGHT YOU HOW TO FISH.

Guys, please forgive my son...He's had a problem since he was a child.  He gets too close to a Snickers Bar and the hallucinations begin.  They get worse and worse for days.  Till all the chocolate scent is out of his system.  He's even worse when he makes MOM's chocolate oatmeal cookies.  Then he's able to convince himself that he's NOT got KENTUCKY in his blood.  No son, I'm very sorry to have to be the one to break it to you...You did NOT teach me to fish.  Now, come back to reality  Cause we all know you wouldn't use plastics....it's ok, I still love you

I wish MY mom were on the board,...   :-/ :'(

Words like that will not get me to the reunion any faster. 8-)

Russ, this is for you...due to the current elder abuse I've had doled on me, I'm currently accepting applications for the position of "eldest" son.  Here are the requirements.....

Never abuse your new "mom" ok, some but not too much.

You must be slightly conceited.

Remember, I live in KY so you must be at least 12 yrs younger (this is debatable in some counties) than me (I'm 47)

You must give GREAT gifts for MOM.

You MUST be proud of your heritage (you would have to convert to Kentuckyism) at least occasionally

I might loan you money, I might loan you my new truck, You may always return home, I'll take you fishing but never, NEVER ask to borrow my boat!  To do so, you will forever endure the hex of never catching as many fish as MOM.  

Ok, I'm not gonna be picky  the application process is now open to all.....the reunion is July 14th :

[tallydude]

Oy.

[Gotta Love It]

I am officially submitting my application to be your eldest son!  What is the rule on moving back home and moving into Mom's house?  I will do chores!    Promise!

Easy enough

You must be slightly conceited.

Have you seen my 30 videos?

Remember, I live in KY so you must be at least 12 yrs younger (this is debatable in some counties) than me (I'm 47)

I'm 40, in Ky, I hear there are exceptions

You must give GREAT gifts for MOM.

Well, I've been told I have quite the imagination and I learned years ago that gifts are about the thought involved.

You MUST be proud of your heritage (you would have to convert to Kentuckyism) at least occasionally

I've travelled to 17 countries, lived Bermuda,Lake Tahoe, VT and RI.  I'm very good at adapting to and learning from, new cultures

I might loan you money, I might loan you my new truck, You may always return home, I'll take you fishing but never, NEVER ask to borrow my boat!

The only time I would ever take your boat would be to save you or someone in our family from harm or unnecessary suffering (and only if my bigger, better boat isn't at the dock)

To do so, you will forever endure the hex of never catching as many fish as MOM.  

I would only assume some of this amazing talent I have came from my parents...(refer to conceited requirement)

Oh, WAIT!!  IF I get accepted,.....does this mean WESTPALM is my BROTHER??? :-?  Cause, I'm just sayin',...you know how kids are,...they team up on the parents and if we ever did that,.......

Oh man,...family dynamics have me all messed up,lol

At 56 I don't meet the requirements for the position of "eldest" son but I can fish out of the back seat and I do chatter a lot.
